ARAGORN HEADSCULPT NOW AVAILABLE (new pics pg. 8)

[Platty]

When you guys mention modifying the neck, do you mean drilling a hole to fit one of these?

Or are you removing the neck completely?

I was talking removing the neck completely.

Like this:

Creating a large gap into which a connector socket from a Hot Toys Truetype head will be glued. You put the socket on the neck ball, add glue to the head, put the head in position upside down (so you know the depth is what you want and you don't get glue on the ball)...and viola! you can finish filling the gap after the depth has been set.

Except that this may not be the body I use, so I'm just holding the head in place. I haven't installed the socket yet.

1st - Thanks for that info buddy! Although I think I will stick with the moulded neck. Have you done it to obtain more articulation mate? I never really favour neck joints like that but with the hair covering it I can imagine it looks great!
Also if I can ask you a question, does the head come with a pre drilled hole in the neck for the neck connector type I posted above?

2nd - What a great headsculpt! The likeness is amazing. Thanks for the pics!

i agree with platty...amazing!!! and thank you for the tutorial....now...where to find spare heads to canabilze...?

Wondering what outfit you are using that requires the neck to be attached to the body? Its usually only done that way when there is exposed chest in the outfit?

Any one know how to get the boots of the sideshow Aragorn?

 

[Platty]

I'd like to know this also because i'm no doubt going to do it!

 

[hoodonit00]

Ok, which one of you talented artists are going to be the first one to unveil what Aragorn is really supposed to look like.

 

[Tekkaman Blade]

I'll let you know when someone finds a way to get those stupid boots off. If not I have to find an alternative.

 

[galactiboy]

Wow, that sculpt turned out great

Well I got mine off but that was over a year or so ago. Best I can remember I used brute force. I know I didn't use any kind of liquid on them. Possibly heated them with a hair dryer. Sorry can't remember.

 

[Platty]

Heating with a hairdryer or hot water will more than likely help!

Don't know if I would use hot water on the parts that are cloth though.

Any one painted these sculpts yet?, any photos?

 

[Platty]

Recieved my sculpt today, wow, what a stunning likeness. And overall a solid headsculpt. Anyone on the fence i'd recommend this, it's one of the best likenesses i've seen on a headsculpt. Get that Sideshow head replaced with this

 

[MisterToyNYC]

If this helps, the Aragorn headsculpt, and everything else, is 20% off this week.

Hey Eric,

Just wanted to know when my HS was gonna be sent out?

 

[thecapn]

Well, here's mine painted up. It's not quite 100% in the eyes, I'm working on it.

Looking good!
I still think the jaw is a bit too pronounced, but otherwise it's a stellar sculpt.
